Best place to ask is in HKS180's thread viewforum.php?f=42. You will be able to ask and even get a good deal through there?

Go the 35W.

Low beam are H7. High beams are HB3 I'm pretty sure.

By the way, all the info about what bulbs go where is in your owners manual :mrgreen:

Bulb types will be listed in your owners manual. 35W slim kit for example. Go between 5-6000k but no higher as you will lose a lot of light output.
